SB306

Montana SB306 prohibits county treasurers from selling tax deeds to foreign entities.

Montana SB306 amends state law to prohibit county treasurers from selling tax deeds to foreign entities. A foreign entity is defined as a government, political party, or entity located outside the United States, unless it is organized under U.S. law and has its principal place of business in the U.S. The bill also revises definitions and procedures for tax deed auctions, including the minimum opening bid and the process for unsuccessful auctions. The changes take effect October 1, 2025.
